Inter Squadron Athletics Results


Well done to the cadets who attended the inter squadron athletics on Sunday. We came away with Cdt Brookes winning gold in the Junior Girls 800m and Cpl Donley scoring points in the Boys B discus.

Total points scored in each of the categories are as follows:
Boys A - 0 points
Boys B - 2 points
Boys C - 0 points
Junior Girls - 8 points
Senior Girls - 0 points

Although our achievements in the 800m and discus is something to be celebrated, our overall squadron involvement in the athletics competition was poor. Out of the 27 units in Essex Wing we scored a total of 10 points bringing us in at 24th place. Many of the entries in Boys A and Boys C remained unfilled and as a result we didn't have any chance of scoring points in these categories.

Well done to the girls of the squadron who's involvement in this competition has drastically increased on last year and as a result the girls have in fact beaten the boys. Boys you need to pull your sport socks up!

Our next sporting competition will be the inter squadron swimming competition, which is scheduled to take place on 06 SEP 2014. Get the date in your diary as I am expecting a high level of input from you all.

Corps Air Rifle Competition Results Round 3



The results from round 3 of the Corps Air Rifle Competition are in. There are 20 teams comprising of 70 cadets involved with the competition.

Our two teams are as follows:
Team A: Johnfinn, Wilby and Deacon A
Team B: Cpl Deacon T, Cpl Thorne and Cpl Donley


Team Scores (Round 3)
Team A - 1438 / 1800 - 9th
Team B - 1301 / 1800 - 11th


Individual Scores (Round 3)
Johnfinn - 501 / 600 - 19th
Deacon A - 487 / 600 - 23rd
Cpl Thorne - 485/600 - 24th
Cpl Deacon T - 468 / 600 - 31st
Wilby - 450 / 600 - 37th
Cpl Donley - 348 / 600 - 44th


Team Scores (Overall: Rounds 1 - 3)
Team A - 5th
Team B - 11th

Johnfinn - 12th
Cpl Thorne - 17th
Deacon A - 19th
Wilby - 23rd
Cpl Deacon T - 28th
Donley - 62nd (New entry)


A good effort but not our best shoot so far. Team A are only just holding on to 5th place, 37 points separate us from those in 6th place and there are 72 points between us and those in 4th.

Team B dropped 3 places from 7th to 11th place, however they are well ahead of 12th place with a huge 375 point lead and there are only 3 points between them and 10th place.

We welcome Cpl Donley to the shooting team, unfortunately as he missed rounds 1 and 2 he will be at a disadvantage on the individual overall scores, however his points still contribute to Team B's overall position.
